Requirements

Design will be centered in browser, Social Fresh logo left justified. Include enough room to the logo's right to fit a 728x90 pixel banner ad.

Similar to SEOmoz.com's site, design a header with strong colors (orange primary color, green or other secondary color or your choice) and depth/dimension.

Include two rows of links under logo, separated cleanly similar to Mashable.com's layout of two rows of links.

Main content will appear on the left, 640px wide. Right sidebar 300px wide. Total site width = 1000px wide. Main content column will contain blog post excerpts with text and image teasing similar to TechCrunch.com's front page.

In between the header and the main content area, we would like a highlighted area to feature upcoming events and/or featured content.

Keep design below header clean. Subtle design in the little elements of the wordpress blog. Include all typical Wordpress site info such as blog comments, tags, author, title, etc.
